Deeper than every ocean, deeper than every river
That's what your presence brings to me
Revealing the words I listen, seeing you in my silence
Learning I'm with you constantly as I was before

If we were flowers, we would worship the sun, so why not now?
This high is shining brightly, brighter than before
As the door was open wide, there inside was a diamond chair
Where I sat when I was young, I wrote down the words

Only when the young at heart can enter the real world
This chance I've waited for, for you to see
If I had chances I would spend them with you
To hold you close and let your love surround me, deeper than before

(Deeper than every ocean)
And I know this love is real
(Deeper than every river)
Realize this is meant to be
That's what your eyes they say to me
You are listening to how I feel so expectedly

(Brighter than every morning)
From the ocean to the sky
(Beautiful as the sunset)
Every river to the sea
Nature surrounds me constantly
We can hear love constantly, this is for you and me

Turn around and come deeper now
So what happens when I touch you there
You feel the words roll over you
Thinking of the better scenes

The memories as everybody else just
Hasn't got the time to help you anymore
'Cause if the reason for the things that pleasure us
To please ourselves, not pressure us
To give our ego some pleasure time

Can you imagine any reason
To know you're only fooling yourself
And then you'll understand why
You'll understand why

So if we choose to realize all existence is a dream
This perfect resume to you from me
Just had a tough time with magic the death of ego
The moon, it was just coming through

Send me such a good time
In a letter form, tell me
The pleasure, no pressure
Pure imagination in a metaphoric dream

I get amazed like a true beginner
I get amazed like a true believer
I get amazed when I see you there
And I come alive

I believe I'm a true beginner
I believe I'm a true beginner
In your arms I can see it all
I can see it all

If we were flowers, we would worship the sun, so why not now?
This light is burning brightly, this light is burning brightly
Brighter than before, brighter than before
Brighter than before, brighter than before

Turn around and remember that when it gets so low
As you finally hit the ground
Turn around and remember that now I'm standing tall
Standing on my sacred ground

Turn around and remember that when it gets so low
As you finally hit the ground
Turn around and remember that now you're standing tall
Standing on sacred ground, standing on sacred ground
Standing on sacred ground
